“The manufacturer succeeded in creating a good smartphone that offers many positive aspects for everyday operation, represents a good update of its predecessor, and it hardly shows any real weaknesses besides the slow WLAN. So those who like the design should go for it.”

“This svelte budget offering has curves and specifications in all of the right places and offers up a solid user experience. Issues with performance and a mediocre camera prevent it from being an instant recommendation however, despite the excellent price.”

“The Motorola Moto E5 has plenty of elements that made previous Moto-series phones to successful. It’s a low-priced no-nonsense phone that lasts for ages off a charge. However, like a budget car with a truly wimpy engine, there’s not quite enough power to make this a phone you’ll love.”

“For a phone priced at just over ÂŁ100, we're astonished at what Motorola is able to offer. The Moto E5 has exceptional design and build quality making it feel like a much more expensive handset. And that's just for starters. You get a great screen, decent battery life, a good camera and even a fingerprint scanner to boot.”
